Answer:

10 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Road sign shadow (Rs) = 4 feets

Height of man (Hm) = 6

Man shadow (Ms) = 2.4 feets

Height of road sign (Hr) = x

Height of road sign / shadow of road sign = height of man / shadow of man

Hr/Rs = Hm / Ms

x / 4 = 6 / 2.4

Cross multiply :

4*6 = 2.4*x

24 = 2.4x

x = 24 / 2.4

x = 10 feets

Hence, height of road sign = 10 feets

If a club charges dues of $200 a year, it will have 50 members. For each $5 it raises its dues, it loses a member. USE AN EQUATI
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The value is      y  =  \$ 225

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The amount charge per year is  k  =  \$ 200

   The  number of members it will have at this amount is  n  =  50

   The amount amount increase that will lead to the loss of a single member is   z =  \$ 5

        Generally the total amount the club would obtain from  its members is mathematically represented as

      I  =  Amount \  due\ paid *  Number \  of members

Now let x denote the number of member lost

Hence

      I  =  (k + zx) (n-x )

=>    I  =  (200 + 5x) (50-x )

=>  I  = 10000+50x-5x^2

Thus the number of members that be removed to  give the maximum  income from dues is obtained by differentiating the above equation and equating it to zero

           \frac{dI}{dx}  =  50-10x

=>         x   =  5

So from  I  =  (200 + 5x) (50-x ) we have

          I  =  (200 + 5 (5)) (50-5 )

           I  = \$ 10125

So the amount the club should charge is    

         y  =  \frac{10125}{50 - 5}

         y  =  \$ 225
